A collision between two vehicles occurred about 3 p.m. Wednesday on southbound U.S. Highway 81, just north of Garnett Road in Ottawa County.

According to a Kansas Highway Patrol report, a Ford 500 driven by Olivia R. Beeson, 21, of Hutchinson, was northbound on U81 when for an undetermined reason she crossed the median and entered the southbound lanes.

Beeson's vehicle struck a Ford F250 driven by Jeffery L. Benson, 56, of Salina. His vehicle came to rest in the right lane, while Beeson's vehicle left the roadway to the right and came to rest on its side, the report said.

Beeson was taken to Salina Regional Health Center for a possible injury. Benson was uninjured.

Both were wearing seat belts, the report said.
